Steve: Recruiting mailbag questions
Hey guys,
Feel free to fire away with some questions for this week's recruiting mailbag.
I'm going to answer a few questions in depth and then do a quick lightning round with a handful of questions that don't need a lot of elaboration.
Hope you've enjoyed them so far
Steve

....and I hope we take their good recruits!

That was probably almost everybody's question.
September 25th, 2016 at 9:10 PM ^
Mine too... particularly iwth LEs Miles gone.

I don't think we can ask that in advance of victory. Or something like that...

They're probably not going to fire him after his 3rd season, unless they crash and burn. That Cal loss hurts.
Looking at the schedule, I think 8 wins is realistic, which probably saves his job. He goes 6-6 or worse and I think he may be out. Don't know anything about their new AD, but he may see a 7 win record this year and say that's good enough to keep him around to see what happens in year 4. I know they're used to winning, but I think 4 years is fair.

As far as dogs go, he looks awfully trustworthy to me. Harris is coming to Michigan!

Is Harbaugh's unique "style" of recruiting going to have negative consequences eventually? (by style, I mean, recruits coming and going so quickly, offering a lot, telling some to take a hike, or just not calling them for awhile, etc.)

CB recruiting were fine with. We just landed 2 studs last year, and probably 2 more studs this year (Juste and Thomas). It is the position we are 'most loaded' at with young players IMO, so im not really sure why your worried about that position.
DT position, however, i am definitely genuinely worried about going forward.

Did Notre Dame blow it with Oliver Martin this weekend?
September 25th, 2016 at 9:23 PM ^
They definitely blew.

Just in case nobody has asked this question yet...how does the firing of Les Miles affect recruiting? JJ

great question. we all know OL, WR, LB, etc require a serious influx of talent, as does DT and DB, but they seem to have more options / targets at the former spots (in addition to current commits) with less real targets at DT and DB.
outside of the staffs top 1-2 targets at DT and DB, who might be options? now or down the road? seems like kelly-powell is the only real S name floating around, thomas is one of the only CBs left (as well as holmes from cali) and tufele seems to be the only elite DT with mutual interest.
any chance they get an official from a guy like grant delpit now miles is out (bc i think hes a future star)? and are they really hoping to pair irving-bay with hudson at DT? bc theyre nice developmental prospects with big frames but currently lack some of the skills of higher end prospects.
they have a few DT / DB commits but obviously need to add further talent - and whoever ends up signing at those spots will likely be relied on to play early and often. insight please? thanks

DT recruiting.
Besides the big fella from Utah (who appears to be leaning towards OSU), who else are we after and is it not that big of a deal that we don't have a couple spots filled at the position this year?
DL/DT doesn't seem very deep next year.

5-star Micah Parsons, but he's an '18 recruit. Steve has referred to his commitment as "butter-soft". Not sure how much he's interested in Michigan though.
From the 2017 class, no one really stands out. Brelin Faison-Walden has been mentioned.
